Attic Geometric Trefoil Mouth Oinochoe. From Athens 725 BC

This Attic Geometric Trefoil Mouth Oinochoe, dating back to 725 BC, is a fine example of Ancient Greek pottery from the Geometric period. The oinochoe, a type of wine jug, is decorated with black and white bands and geometric patterns, a common motif in Geometric art. This particular piece showcases a unique trefoil mouth, a characteristic of the period, and features a delicate design of stylized birds and wavy lines near the neck. The intricate detail and craftsmanship reflect the artistic skill of Ancient Greek potters during this period. The oinochoe is currently housed at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, and is a valuable artifact for understanding ancient Greek culture and art.
